Alex's Connection: Superior Technologies
Germany was a very tenacious enemy to almost the whole world. Like almost any other superior nation or empire, Germany had advanced technologies. Some countries had no idea how to fight or what to fight with against Germany's Panzer III's and IV's tanks, the MG81 medium machine guns, Sturmgewehr 44's "the first assualt rifles", and many more burdensome weapons. In 300, the Spartans run into the same dilemma. They weren't expecting to win anything because the Persians had gunpowder explosives and other menacing technologies. Usually, in these situations it is probable of the more advanced country winning a war. The Persians did beat the Spartans, but the German's lost WWII. Fortunately, there lost reconciliated Europe, though.

In the Revolutionary War, the British and the colonial army both had their differences. The British had more numbers, experience, supplies, and weaponry. The colonists had unexperienced soldiers, mediocre weapons, and meager supplies. But, the colonists did have camouflage, freedom to fight for, and they also knew the "law of the land." This shows how experience and advanced weaponry are not necessities for victory. Posted by Luke
